Virtual Assistants (VAs) are not just for solo entrepreneurs – they’re supporting businesses of all sizes with a range of services from traditional PA services through to specialist niche areas like bookkeeping, video editing and online business management.

In this session, industry expert Gwen Backhouse will give an honest look at when a VA can be a powerful asset, but equally, she will also discuss when it may not be the right fit. Using real-life experiences and data from the UK VA Survey 2025, you’ll discover:

• the wide range of professional services VAs provide,
• how to tell if you or your business is ready to work with one
effectively,
• common pitfalls to avoid, and
• how to find a professional and reliable VA.

You will leave this session with a clear understanding of whether a VA could be a viable solution for your business and how to make it work if the answer is yes.
